Yeah, it was definitely a time of large (and fast paced) change, looking at old photos of the time, photos with even something like a 10 year difference show radical change in the landscape of the cities. Canโt imagine how much of a societal impact thatโd have, really made me appreciate reading this, itโs like a snapshot of the time period. Itโs a great piece of literature - at first (before reading it) I thought it was just going to be a amusing story about a snooty cat, but thereโs so much social commentary in it on the side-lines (and thatโs only the bits I pick up on, Iโm sure thereโs much more).
(and the books you mention sound interesting, Iโll have to make a note of them, thanks!)
